Rasta Holiday
Please enjoy these two quick, one-skein projects, knit with Malabrigo’s scrumptious Rasta yarn, size 17 circular needles and much happiness. Whether you knit for yourself or knit many gifts, you can finish each in a matter of hours! I hope you will enjoy the fun of the Fibonacci numbers.

From the tiny spiral of the nautilus shell to the outstretched arms of the galaxies, the Finonacci numbers appear everywhere in nature. I’m continually inspired by the simple construction of the sequence, the next number is the sum of the previous two, and fascinated by its many applications in knitting, from stitch count and color changes in patterns to rows and stripes. It always works!
